Is this the same "Memnon" at the B&O Museum?

Yes it is one and the same locomotive. The correct spelling is "Memnon" after an ancient Egyptian God for whom the two colossi at Luxor Egypt are named. (I work for an Egyptian tour operator).

B&O 0-8-0, aka "Memnon" is now back in the roundhouse after restoration following the roof collapse of 2003.
